A 56-year-old man almost lost a quarter of a million dollars in scam after receiving a call about a suspicious transaction on his credit card.
Fortunately for him, the Anti-Scam Centre of the Singapore and Standard Chartered bank successfully helped him recover the money on June 6.
The call was then forwarded to a “police officer” who claimed that the man was a victim of an identity fraud and that the money in his bank accounts had been frozen.
